Online services offered

  • Test Results
  • Repeat Prescription requests
  • Make appointments online
  • Aspects of your medical record

Our online services are quick, easy and convenient to use from a smartphone, tablet or computer.

They will save you time and help you take more control of your health, particularly if you have any long-term medical conditions which require regular monitoring and prescriptions.

Registered patients (except aged 11 – 16 years*) may book appointments online to see a doctor via Patient Access. To use this service, you must register in person in the practice to obtain a Pin. If you wish to prepare the form Print the Patient Access online application shown below, which you can complete and bring into surgery. Your Pin will be prepared for collection by you personally with photo ID within two working days of your request and will allow you to use our confidential booking system. If you have already collected your Pin or have used this system with our practice before, please register or log in here.

*To protect patient confidentiality Patient Access is not available to patients aged 11 – 16 years. On reaching age 11 years patients registered for Patient Access will have their Patient Access account cancelled.  They can re-apply in person with photo ID at age 16 years. 

Proxy access

If you are the parent of any children under the age of 12 you will need to fill in a ‘proxy’ access form to view their details. You can also grant access to a carer if you wish.

The Patient Responsibility

You understand that it is your responsibility to keep your contact details updated and that you are responsible for the safety and security of your personal registration details for online services. You also understand that you can withdraw consent at any time by simply notifying the Practice in writing.

  • Where access is granted to your registration details such as PIN, Practice ID, Access ID and CHI number will be sent via post or given in person.
  • The Email address must be specific to the person making the request. It cannot be a shared account.
  • Patient with a history of non-attendance at pre-booked appointments without cancelling will not normally be granted access to online appointment booking.
  • Online appointments booked are to be cancelled by the patient as soon as it is determined it is no longer required.
  • The Practice will not allow misuse of the online system and will monitor usage by individual patients. Where it is considered that a patient is misusing the system or is acting in a way detrimental a warning letter will be issued. Where the situation does not improve, or recurs, access will be removed permanently and without further notice at the discretion of the Partners. This will not affect your registration with the Practice.
  • On approval request for online access you will be given access and instructions.
  • Requests for reissue of access log-in details will be sent via post to the patients registered address or in person.
  • The status of repeat prescriptions requests should be checked online to confirm they have been prescribed before collecting any medications from the Pharmacy especially if requesting a item not on your repeat prescription record.
